  • You mention on the podcast that the Dish Hopper is the first DVR to utilize HDMI-CEC. I have the AT&T U-Verse Total Home DVR connected to a Sony NSZ-GS7 Google TV that is then connected to my Panasonic ST50. I think that the Google TV is controlling the DVR (channel changing, menus, DVR controls, etc) via HDMI-CEC. Am I wrong about that? I don’t think it is IR control.

  • Hey, we have the same TV! 🙂 In the article we covered in our show notes, Engadget was reporting they believed Dish will be the first to implement CEC on a DVR. Is there any way of testing your Google TV setup by breaking any possible IR bleed to your AT&T settop box? I can find no documentation suggesting that the Total Home DVR does support CEC, and it would be interesting to find out if that’s in there but hasn’t been widely communicated.

  • I don’t ever remember hearing about any of the Google TV boxes using CEC for channel changing, etc. It almost has to be via IR blasting.
